Amid reports of negative experiences with bovaer from Danish dairy farmers, Jesper Arnth, kvægformand in L&F, stated that EFSA will reassess the product's approval. While some have had no issues, many producers experienced reduced feed intake and increased health problems in cattle since its rollout in October.

Data indicates that bovaer may exacerbate metabolic disorders when combined with high sulfur levels in feed. A detailed investigation is underway. Arnth emphasized the need for farmers to trust the approved tools and highlighted the importance of welfare and climate measures, including collaboration with biogas facilities.
